Sumioni: Demon Arts

Dark attack

by Mike Rose 14/2/2013

Sometimes, the only way to fell a demon is to set another demon on it, literally fighting fire with fire.

Sumioni: Demon Arts doesn't just provide you with a beefed up demon to plough your way through feudal Japan with, but it throws in a couple of gods for good measure.

The platforming action in Sumioni may leave a little to be desired at times, but there's a definite spark of magic here in the degree of variety and experimentation the game affords you.

A, B, C, D, Mon

Sumioni gives you a huge number of tools to dispose of your enemies with, and then is just sort of lets you get on with it. ...

With a bit of sprucing up here and there, Sumioni: Demon Arts could be a keeper. In its current form, there's still plenty to enjoy
